Review :

"This book has its shining points and deepens our understanding of the development of China's different space programs, and the author's analytical approach can provide reference for colleagues. However, it has room for improvement and expansion." (Zhang Zhihui, Technology and Culture, Vol. 65 (2), April, 2024)

"China's Space Programme: From the Era of Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping by S Chandrashekhar provides a detailed account of the country's rise to become a space power worth reckoning. ... Each chapter carries a wealth of information in the form of tables and diagrams. ... The richness of information on the Chinese Space programme makes the book a historical study, a tutorial, a study in management, and a reference guide." (Arup Dasgupta, Geospatial Artha, Vol. 1 (5), January-February, 2023)
